For-profit GE gets non-profit award

General Electric Co. will be honored by two chambers of commerce for its support of the region’s not-for-profit organizations.

The Tech Valley Nonprofit Business Council — a joint initiative of the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce and The Chamber of Schenectady County — will give the company its 2006 Corporate Partner award at a luncheon next month.

Senior Services of Albany will receive the Nonprofit Organization of the Year award for a group with fewer than 74 employees. The Schenectady ARC, which works developmentally disabled residents, will win for those with 75 or more employees.

The awards luncheon will be held Nov. 9 at 11:30 a.m. at the Glen Sanders Mansion, in Scotia. To register, visit the Albany-Colonie chamber’s site here.
